An integrated recovery management strategy starts with a complete monitoring and analysis engine that actively monitors application data usage “in flight” and analyzes its importance to the business. That data and analysis can be used by application, storage, recovery and business managers to determine the best storage strategy for that data, and helps measure “application value” in terms of the “business value” it delivers:

Application managers benefit from:

  • Real-time insight into the availability and recoverability of their front-line resources
  • Critical data would be available on Tier 1 storage resources
  • Reduced chargeback from storage resource utilization

Storage managers benefit from:

  • More intelligent decisions on storage acquisition, utilization and provisioning
  • Better use of strategic technologies like VTL, replication, etc
  • Reduced TCO of existing resources and better planning for new purchases
